Session’s Length Is Concern of Farmers Legislators Note Progress of Plant ing Season.—Twelfth Week Started Tuesday. Fifty-seven farmer legislators, one third of the South Tlarolina general assembly, are becoming concerned at the remoteness of adjournment as the agricultural season progresses. Theie is no definite indication that many of the 16 senators and 41 rep resentatives who list their principal vocation as agriculture would start a “back to the farm movement” without officially adjourning, but they and business men are admittedly anxious to end session, which entered its 12th week Tuesday. A lapse of nearly a month between house approval of a 39,158,000, 18- month appropriation bill and the open ing of senate debate on appropria tions became certain when the senate finance conrmTttfe did not Teport the" bill out last week. The committee performed major operations on the measure during the three weeks it has had it in its pos- s ession. Members said they were con-' sidering redrafting it into a 12-month bill carrying about $5,800,000 and a much smaller six-month measure. Committee activities were acceler ated last week by the most definite ac tion cf the session, passage by the house of a bill repealing provisions of the 6-0-1 school law ard substituting an augmented income tax for proper ty taxes to finance schools. The education bill was referred to the finance committee, and senators said they now’ can correlate school ap propriations with the finance meas- urts in the education bill to complete the appropriation bill. Beer was scheduled to take prece dence when the house met Tuesday, debate having been recessed over the week-end on a bill to legalize 3.2 per cent, beverage. There was unofficial talk of efforts to substitute a. beer tax for the increased income taxes in the education bill. And through it all, senators and more especially representatives kept counting their cash. Living is inex pensive in Columbia this session, and the house through some foresight ha s defeated moves to reduce legislative pay to $200. Berne representatives, nevertheless, say they are hard put to stretch the $400, part of it still prospective, but available in credit, over the session. A senate bill to cut the legislators’ pay fn-m the constitutional $400 to $200 is pending on the calendar. Teachers to Meet April 6.

Clemson College, March 25.— Though we have three important fac tors of soil, climate, and moisture conditions generally favorable to successful vegetable gardening, many of our rural people who could have excellent year-round gardens do not give sufficient attention to home gar dens, thinks E. H. Rawl, extension horticulturalist. In the cities, towns and mill vil lages, on the other hand, Mr. Rawl find s ^at much attention i s being given to the matter of establishing gardens among the unemployed, and commends this as a very useful form of utilizing the unemployed labor in the production of essential foods. “It ha s been only a relatively short time since Science discovered the ex act contents or e’ements of vegetables that have the power of promoting growth and health,” Mr. Rawl ex plains. “These important elements found in vegetables, and especially im leafy vegetables, are vitamins, and experiments in animal and human nutrition have proved their impor tance for good grow’th and health. “Furthermore, vegetables contain minerals which the dietitians agree are necessary in the development of the body and the maintenance of health. Likewise, the food specialists tell u a fhat the diet should contain a certain amount of bulky food. Vege tables meet these requiiements in the form of fibre or cellulose. Hence, au thorities in food and health recom mend the use of a supply of vegetables in the diet each day. “The growing of good gardens throughout the year is largely a hab it. Many who have recently develop ed this habit have found the heme garden not only piofitahle, but a source of p’easuie and happiness." TRY A BUSINESS BUILDER SHERIFF SALES.
